“We’ve got our work cut out for us.”

Those are the words of Governor Chris Gregoire talking about the latest revenue forecast and the possibility of having to cut up to a billion more dollars from the state budget.

Gregoire  met with capitol reporters this morning to talk about a range of issues – everything from the case to keep Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner production line in Washington to the latest revenue forecast. And she even talked taxes. Gregoire was opposed to any tax increase last legislative session.  She says she is now open to lawmakers coming to her with a plan on how to raise revenue that won’t impact the economy.

“I’ve told the leadership, come make your case.  My door is open, you can make your case,” said Gregoire.
